Default Sold a White's for double what I paid for it!

Nearby park district was looking for a metal detector to help find the posts the bases go in. They have 'No Metal Detectors Allowed' signs posted at every park so I gouged them on the one I sold them

On the other hand, after putting a fresh battery in and the gallon of gas I burned up and back I probably broke even. Yah see the White's was a, well, look for yourself. Bought it for $5, sold it for $10

PS - got the Superintendent of Maintenance to sign the back of his card that states I can MD in the tot lots and ball fields. Just stay of the grass

TR Discriminator II (Sears model 596460)

The photos don't show the crack I put in the stem after I stepped on it A little epoxy and some duct tape and yah can't tell Gave the guy a 30 second demo and it did hum over where the base stakes should be. We shall see when it comes time to use it LOL

I did try it a bit and I feel for those people detecting back in the 70's! Did pinpointers even exist then???
